Podcasts about Suspense

We bid goodbye to the old year and ring in the new with 'Til We Meet Again, a tale of star-crossed lovers on an ocean liner with plans for a New Year's Eve rendezvous…if the fates don't conspire against them. We'll hear three of the film's stars - Merle Oberon, Pat O'Brien, and Geraldine Fitzgerald - in episodes of Suspense plus a Lux Radio Theatre recreation of the movie.  Ms. Fitzgerald tries to comfort her husband through his unusual nightmares in "A Friend to Alexander" (originally aired on CBS on June 15, 1944). Ms. Oberon stars in a story set in Nazi-occupied France - "The Bluebeard of Bellac" (originally aired on CBS on September 21, 1944). And Mr. O'Brien is a cop whose latest case hits close to home in "True Report" (originally aired on CBS on August 31, 1950). Finally, we'll hear Ms. Oberon and her screen co-star George Brent reunite on The Lux Radio Theatre (originally aired on CBS on June 10, 1940).

Yuletide Miracle 

We wrap up our series of classic holiday films with It's a Wonderful Life - the timeless tale from Frank Capra that proves no man is a failure who has friends. We'll hear three of its stars - Jimmy Stewart, Sheldon Leonard, and Thomas Mitchell - in Suspense thrillers, an old time radio recreation of the movie, and a bonus spoof courtesy of The Jack Benny Program. Thomas Mitchell is a tycoon with more than business on his mind in "Case History on Edgar Lowndes" (originally aired on CBS on June 8, 1944). Sheldon Leonard is a professional killer in "Feast of the Furies" (originally aired on CBS on July 11, 1946). And Jimmy Stewart is a man who finds the chance to escape his humdrum life in "Consequence" (originally aired on CBS on May 19, 1949). Then, Stewart and co-star Donna Reed reunite in a Lux Radio Theatre presentation of the film (originally aired on CBS on March 10, 1947). And finally, Jack Benny learns what the world would be like if he'd never been born - with a guest appearance from director Frank Capra (originally aired on NBC on February 2, 1947).

Weekly Spooky drops a Christmas Eve horror story soaked in '90s slasher energy and last-minute retail panic. In Etawah, Oklahoma (1996), Otis Kilgore walks into the Big K like it's a church—new car, new haircut, new plan—convinced a cashier named Diane has been sending him secret messages. But when the store “messes with” his routine, Otis spirals into a holiday meltdown that turns Blue Light Specials into red-hot violence.What starts as awkward small-town obsession becomes a full-tilt killer Santa rampage—duct tape, drain cleaner, homemade weapons, and a blizzard outside a big-box store that's trying to close early for the holiday. Otis isn't just looking for love. He's looking for control, and he's ready to “deliver presents” the only way he knows how: with blood on the tile.If you're craving scary Christmas stories, holiday horror, and a brutal, darkly funny slasher that weaponizes the most stressful night of the season, hit play… and don't wait for the doors to open.Otis Slays Christmas — by David O'Hanlon

Weekly Spooky unleashes a Christmas horror anthology where the lights are twinkling… and the afterlife is weaponized. When Jack Scratch throws open the curtains on Hell's “operations,” you don't get fire-and-brimstone pageantry—you get clipboards, procedures, and punishments dressed up in tinsel.Tonight's holiday horrors include:The Santa Experiment — a confused man wakes in a dying Christmas postcard town… and a Santa with an axe starts closing the distance.Christmas Bones — at the peak of a mountain made of skulls, demons guard a glowing doorway to Heaven… until forgotten Christmas memories start breaking the system.The Furnace — Hell's intake line runs like a factory—until a calm, impossible “soul” walks in and turns tormentors into terrified children, forcing a desperate overseer to gamble on an ancient weapon that can erase a soul forever.If you love scary Christmas stories, holiday horror, and supernatural nightmares with a wicked edge, lock the door, kill the lights, and join us. What happens when Hell tries to control everything… and Christmas slips through anyway?Terror at Christmas — by Keith Tomlin
